Mathematics Proficiency requires that
students:
•
•
•
•
Understand and apply concepts
Compute with ease and fluency
Formulate and solve problems
Explain and communicate their reasoning
Balanced, integrated approaches that emphasize
thinking strategies help develop mathematics proficiency.

–
–
–
–
Characteristics of numbers (factors, multiples, prime, square)
Scaling up and consolidating whole number operations (NCPS seminar)
Relating fractions, decimals, and percents
Computation with fractions, decimals, and percents
• Geometry and Measurement
–
–
–
–
Features and classification of polygons
Classification and measurement of angles
Customary and metric measurement (NCPS seminar)
Area and perimeter
• Statistics and Probability
– Representations of data (line plots, stem-and-leaf, etc.)
– Measures of center (mean, median, mode)
– Determining the probability of an event
• Algebraic Reasoning . . . patterns, relationships, generalizations

CLASS PARTY
John is in charge of buying drinks for the class party. He was given $20 to
spend. He wants all three kinds of drinks listed below.
Fruit Punch
$1.29/half-gallon
$1.89/gallon
Lemonade
$0.98/16 ounces
$1.10/20 ounces
Soda
$1.45/6-pack
$2.25/12-pack
John wants to buy the larger size whenever possible because it is cheaper.
He also wants to spend as close to $20 as possible without going over
$20.
Show the number, type and size of all the drinks John could buy with his
money.
On the back of this page, explain how you approached this problem
and arrived at this answer.
